2009 U-Pick Season
The Strawberry U-Pick is now open. Please call the farm, 731-3133, to arrange a date and time that you would like to come pick.
We have some 4ltr baskets available, but if you have your own 4ltr ‘ice cream’ pail that is great. We only allow pickers to use the 4ltr size so if you bring any other size you will be required to use one of our baskets.
Raspberry u-pick is still a few weeks away.
Rain Day!
We are not done planting, but a rain day was welcome none the less. Wayne and the guys got a much needed break, and we had time to sit down and talk about some of the projects that are underway this season.
A few of the changes that are taking place this year is the addition of a larger greenhouse, that will serve as the garden centre and as the pumpkin patch display area. A parking lot to accommodate the ever increasing traffic on the farm. Expanding the u-pick berry fields. Landscaping & walking trail building are ongoing all year.
The U-Pick berries are going to take up most of the land close to the on farm store. We have planted more strawberries and raspberries. We have more Saskatoons and Honey Berries going in later this season. The grapes I planted last year need to be relocated and a few new vines are going in too. The cherries will still be a few seasons before they are ready to be picked, but we are planting more of those as well. The picnic area is being renovated too and if we have time we will build a gazebo for pickers to rest under.
So the rain day wasn’t a complete write off.
